Sorry, I wasn't trying to criticise you at all. I make mistakes like these too, and it always takes someone else to point them out to me — one is blind to one's own mistakes, after all. What I meant with "Please care for the watch-maildir package yourself." was that I wanted you to import the changes to the second package's description yourself, since I thought there was a need for more modifications. > >It shouldn't talk about 'mswatch', since the user wouldn't know > >what that was. > > I fail to understand your point here.

It starts out with "mswatch is…". How should the beholder know what that's about? Why not start with something like "watch-maildir supplements mswatch by providing components designed to run on the server and to communicate with mswatch on the client."? -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[email protected]> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
